Hi! My name is Becca Landgraf and I’m starting a new thing on the blog called Ag-Fact of the Week. I will post an Agriculture fact every Monday and I want all of you that read this blog to spread that Ag fact around to anyone and everyone the whole week! I would like to start this because I feel there are a lot of people out there that don’t know enough about Agriculture. This is a great way to spread Agriculture Awareness out there in the world today! So here goes the first fact!

Kansas is the number one wheat producing state. Nearly one fifth of all of the wheat grown in the United States is grown in Kansas. On average Kansas farmers produce 400 million bushels of wheat each year. This production value is over $1 billion dollars. Who knew that Kansas could produce all of this wheat!

Sigma Alpha

Sigma Alpha, Alpha Omega chapter, is a professional agriculture sorority on the Kansas State University campus. Girls apart of Sigma Alpha have a strong passion for agriculture, and wish to develop skills to help contribute to the industry.

“The objective of this sorority shall be to promote its members in all facets of agriculture and to strengthen the bonds of friendship among them. It is the purpose of the members to strive for achievement in scholarship, leadership, and service, and to further the development of excellence in women pursuing careers in agriculture.”
